HOWTO for setting up a KMail antispam wizard configuration entry
|
||
|
================================================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a HOWTO for setting up a KMail antispam wizard configuration
|
||
|
entry. Since this possibly is more developer related, I put this as
|
||
|
text file into the source SVN. Possibly some of this should go to the
|
||
|
user documentation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I gathered the information from several mails and comments by Andreas
|
||
|
Gungl, the original developer of the antispam wizard for KMail, and
|
||
|
Ingo Kloecker.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you have questions do not hesitate to ask me, Martin Steigerwald,
|
||
|
Andreas or Ingo.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Basics
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The configuration file for the KMail antispam wizard "kmail.antispamrc"
|
||
|
consists of one entry for each spamfilter that the antispam wizard
|
||
|
shall support.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At the beginning of the file in the section "General" the option "tools"
|
||
|
specifies the count of configured spam filters. Increase that by one
|
||
|
when you add a new entry:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[General]
|
||
|
tools=11
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
A spam filter configuration entry starts with a header like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Spamtool #11]
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
After this you place all the options for the spam filter. Please use
|
||
|
an ordering that is similar to the other entries in the configuration
|
||
|
file so that things are unified a bit.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
General options
|
||
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Ident: Specifies the internal identifier for the entry
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Version: Specifies the version of the entry (FIXME what is this for?)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Priority: Specifies the priority of the filter. This value is used to
|
||
|
place faster filters before the slower ones in the selection list. If the
|
||
|
user chooses the top item, he gets the fastest filter. Provider sided
|
||
|
"filters" (which produce headers tough) like the GMX filter have a prio
|
||
|
at about 70, they are very fast as they don't consume time on the client
|
||
|
side. Since CRM114 is almost as fast it gets 65 ;-).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- VisibleName: This is the name that is presented to the user
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- HeadersOnly=yes: This is used for entries where KMail should just parse
|
||
|
the mail headers for the spam score display (see Razor filter and below
|
||
|
for spam score display details).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Spam filter options
|
||
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
These specify details about the spamfilter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Executable: Specifies a test whether the executable of the spamfilter
|
||
|
can be started. You should provide something which can be run on the
|
||
|
command line and returns [ $? -eq 0 ], i.e. it doesn't wait for any input
|
||
|
etc. It usually make sense to assume the program in the $PATH, so you
|
||
|
should better avoid /usr/bin. Set executable to "echo" for provider based
|
||
|
filters.
|
||
|
Example: Executable=crm -v | grep "CRM114"
|
||
|
|
||
|
- URL: URL to the homepage of the filter
|
||
|
|
||
|
- PipeFilterName: Name of the pipe-through filter used to send mails to the
|
||
|
spamfilter and get them back with added spam filter headers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- PipeCmdDetect: Command used to pipe the mail into.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ExecCmdSpam: Command used to mark a mail as spam.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ExecCmdHam: Command used to mark a mail as ham.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- SupportsBayes: Set to 1 if you have a spam filter that can learn. Only
|
||
|
in this case KMail uses ExecCmdSpam and ExecCmdHam to let the user mark
|
||
|
mail as ham or spam.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Spam detection options
|
||
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
These specify how KMail shall detect whether a mail is spam, unsure or good.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- DetectionHeader: The name of the header where the spam filter puts the spam
|
||
|
status of a mail into.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- DetectionPattern: The pattern the spam filter uses for marking a mail as
|
||
|
spam.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- DetectionPattern2: The pattern the spam filter uses for marking a mail as
|
||
|
unsure. Set "SupportsUnsure=1" when you use this.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- DetectionOnly: Don't pipe mails through the spam filter, but just use headers
|
||
|
from outside, e.g. a provider based spam filter (See GMX).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- UseRegExp: Set to 1 if you need to use regular expressions in the detection
|
||
|
patterns. KMail can operate faster when they are not required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- SupportsUnsure: Set to 1 if you have a spam filter that supports
|
||
|
classying mails as unsure to tell the user to train those.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Spam score display
|
||
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Those regular expressions are used to extract the actual "spamicity"
|
||
|
score and the threshold (i.e. the upper bound for non-spam) from
|
||
|
SpamAssassin's ScoreHeader. The score and the threshold are then used
|
||
|
for showing the spam status in the message header, i.e. the small
|
||
|
colorbar.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You need to specify the following values:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ScoreName: The name that will be shown in the message header.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ScoreHeader: The message header containing the score value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ScoreType: The type of the score, cf. below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ScoreValueRegexp: A regular expression for extracting the score from
|
||
|
the ScoreHeader.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ScoreThresholdRegexp: A regular expression for extracting the threshold
|
||
|
from the ScoreHeader; only needed for Adjusted type. Please set to
|
||
|
nothing (ScoreThresholdRegexp=) if not needed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
KMail supports the following ScoreType values:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Bool: Simple Yes or No (Razor)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Decimal: For probability between 0.0 and 1.0 (BogoFilter)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Percentage: For straight percentages between 0.0 and 100.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Adjusted: Use this when we need to compare against a threshold
|
||
|
(SpamAssasssin)
